Understanding Bed Bugs in Jamaica
Bed bugs are small, blood-sucking insects that have become an increasing problem in both residential and commercial properties across Jamaica. These pests are most commonly found in mattresses, bed frames, and upholstered furniture, but they can also spread to other areas of a property. Bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers, often entering homes or businesses through luggage, clothing, or second-hand furniture.
Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation
Bed bug infestations are often difficult to detect in their early stages. Common signs include itchy, red welts on the skin, tiny blood stains on sheets, and the presence of dark fecal spots on mattresses or furniture. You may also notice bed bug skins or eggs in the seams of mattresses or in cracks and crevices around the bed.
How Bed Bugs Invade Jamaican Properties
Bed bugs are typically introduced into properties through infested furniture, luggage, or clothing. They can easily spread from one room to another, making hotels, hostels, and even offices vulnerable to infestations. Bed bugs reproduce quickly, so even a small number of bugs can lead to a major problem within weeks.
